Regardless, worse come to worse in the elections, it may become difficult to buy a gun but you wont get them banned, not in a long time.
I'm going to go out on a ledge and say it wont happen in several decades, not in my life time anyway. A president cant do it, too many states wont allow congress to do it.
What can happen is make it difficult to get ammo, and components. The EPA can sneak in rules restricting transportation of ammo and components.
Not too long ago they closed one of the last lead mines. Problem is there is too much used lead out there to effect shooting, but its a sign.
About 40 years ago when I started shooting High Power, the club women brought food to the matches for a picnic after we shot. We'd set around telling stories, and this topic would come up. There were two older shooters, in their 70s. They brought up the same fears back then and told us younger shooters to concentrate on Primers. You control primers you control shooting and guns. You have primers you can always s shoot.
I go one step farther, I'll add powder with that. Lots of re-usable brass around, lots of lead, Any firearm can shoot cast bullets. If you have primers and powder, you'll always be able to shoot.
You can look back and see shortages that pop up every now and then. Every election there is a scare followed by component shortages.
No one is going to come to your house after your guns. Not in this life time.
But we all know primers and powder sometimes are difficult to get.
Every time I need a brick of primers, I buy two. Every time I need a pound of powder, I buy two. If stored properly, they will last forever, or at least longer then I will last.
I have several thousand LP primers I bought in the mid 80s, some older then that. Every now and then I buy the same make and size new, to compare them. Through a choreograph and testing for accuracy, I cant tell the difference.
Just last week, I was told buy the owner of a regular prominent gun shop to prepare, as another drought is coming soon. I wasn't told this because he wanted to make a sale, he knows my policy habits. Plus his prices are a bit higher then the box stores.
Take this for what its worth. JMHO
